being open isn't the same as being weak.

I base a lot of decisions on my gut, and going with an independent label was a good one.

I think I've developed, as many people do, this sense of, 'Don't say the wrong thing, or else people will point at you and laugh.'

I've always written songs the same way. You learn different tricks - you learn craft, you learn structure, all that - as you go.

I'm 5'11, so when I wear heels, it's definitely a really good view that I have. I'm, like, 6'2 when I wear heels, so I tend to wear cowboy boots a lot.

I don't have big security guards. I don't have an entourage.

Beauty is sincerity.There are so many different ways someone can be beautiful.
